Rex Heuermann, already facing murder charges in the Gilgo Beach killings, has been charged with the death of Valerie Mack. Mack's remains were discovered in 2000, but she was identified in 2020 through genetic testing.
Rex Heuermann , the New York architect facing murder charges in the Gilgo Beach killings, was charged Tuesday in the death of a seventh woman. Heuermann was charged with killing Valerie Mack, whose remains were first found on Long Island in 2000. Mack, 24, had been working as an escort in Philadelphia and was last seen by her family that year in New Jersey.
Mack’s partial skeletal remains were first found in Manorville, New York, in 2000, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of where more of her remains were discovered on Gilgo Beach more than 10 years later. They were unidentified until genetic testing revealed her identity in 2020. Human hair found with Mack’s remains was sent for testing earlier this year and found to be a likely match with the genetic profile of Heuermann’s daughter, prosecutors said in court papers. His daughter is not accused of any wrongdoing and would have been three or four years old when Mack died. Heuermann was set to appear in court on Tuesday. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office was expected to hold a news conference alongside local and state law enforcement following the court appearance. Heuermann is charged with killing six other women whose remains were found on Long Island. The investigation into the Gilgo Beach killings dates back to 2010, when police searching for a missing woman found 10 sets of human remains in the scrub along a barrier island parkway, prompting fears of a serial killer. Over the years, investigators used DNA analysis and other clues to identify the victims, many of whom were sex workers. In some cases, they connected them to remains found elsewhere on Long Island years earlier. Police also began reexamining other unsolved killings of women found dead on Long Island. The case has dragged on through five police commissioners, more than 1,000 tips and doubts about whether there was a serial killer at all
